Subject: [PATCH RFC 12/12] mm/vmalloc: harden bump-allocator alloc/free against UBSAN array bounds
Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2026 22:49:54 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260613-vmalloc_maple-v1-12-0aa740bb944b@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260613-vmalloc_maple-v1-0-0aa740bb944b@oss.qualcomm.com>
Real-hardware testing on a Snapdragon X1E80100 exposed a panic during
boot-time module loading via finit_module -> kernel_read_file ->
vmalloc:
Internal error: UBSAN: array index out of bounds
Call trace:
vmap_bump_alloc
alloc_vmap_area
__vmalloc_node_range_noprof
vmalloc_noprof
kernel_read_file
__arm64_sys_finit_module
UBSAN's array-bounds sanitiser triggers on the indexed write loop:
for (i = 0; i < n_pages; i++)
chunk->page_va[idx + i] = va;
Harden the bump path:
- Centralise the eligibility predicate in vmap_bump_eligible() and
add it to alloc_vmap_area() so vmap_bump_refill() is only called
for requests the bump path can actually serve. Add PAGE_ALIGNED(size)
and align > 0 to the predicate (defensive; alloc_vmap_area's
callers always satisfy these but the explicit check is cheap and
prevents the trap path from being entered with bad inputs).
- In vmap_bump_alloc(), use check_add_overflow() for the new bump
pointer, validate aligned >= chunk->base (defensive against
metadata corruption), and bounds-check idx and idx + n_pages
against VMAP_BUMP_CHUNK_PAGES before touching page_va[]. Replace
the indexed page_va[] store loop with a pointer walk:
slot = &chunk->page_va[idx];
for (i = n_pages; i > 0; i--)
*slot++ = va;
The pointer-increment form is not subject to the array-bounds
sanitiser instrumentation that fires on chunk->page_va[idx + i].
- In vmap_bump_unlink(), validate n_pages > 0 and n_pages <=
VMAP_BUMP_CHUNK_PAGES - idx before the memset, so a corrupted
va->va_end cannot drive a write past the end of page_va[].
- Track the chunk's owner CPU at refill time and compare against
per_cpu(vmap_bump_cur, owner_cpu) on unlink. The previous
this_cpu_read(vmap_bump_cur) compared the chunk against the
*current* CPU's chunk, which is wrong when free runs on a CPU
other than the chunk owner: it could either retire a chunk that
is still the owner's current, or skip retirement on a chunk that
has already been replaced.
No semantic change to the bump-path policy or to the addresses
returned. Builds clean on x86_64 and arm64 (full bzImage / Image).
